Good morning my slinging brothers and sisters! It's great to finally join in the discussion here. I've been reading this forum and historical material for years. I am very thankful to all who have contributed to the massive knowledge database available here on slinging.org. This is truly the slinging oasis!
My name is Elliott Stanton and I am a slinger. I enjoy weaving slings and teaching people the true power of the sling. I am also a competitive shooter and enjoy firearms. Here are a couple short articles if you would like to take a look:

I would like to canvas our community for ideas. I have already contacted a celebrity about joining me on this journey, and if he is willing, already has a full blown production machine running. Maybe you can guess who it is! His presence here on the forum has been missing. He is out of town for the month, but will contact me when he returns.
Look over this list of topics and let me know what else you would like to see on a documentary.
1. Balearic competition- March 1
2. Roman slinging and history
3. Guam slinging and other pacific islanders
4. Peru- the valley people event January 20

Please blow this thread up! If you could assist in anyway, please contact me. Message me in the forum!
